If this is a buzzer beater I will be disappointed

Why wait til the end of the game? Buzzer beater at the half from half court has Cobbins looking like this:

Slightly worried about a psychological hangover from SC. The type just after when a guy very happy with himself runs into another guy who, out of nowhere, walks up and punches him in the mouth.

This will be the first test on whether everybody knows "how" to play ISU and Fredball. [There's a chance that they do.]

On the other hand, if we go back to being the team that goes on 8-0, 12-0, 18-0 runs, that strategy collapses and it's Blowout City.

I want to see something out of Thomas and Nader, rather than so much focus on Niang and McKay, or even Morris and BDJ.

My off-the-wall prediction? McKat starts as CFH wants a more energetic beginning to the game.

I think we win this one by double-digits, but I'm guessing we lay another egg either @WVU or @Baylor.

I predict there will be a lot of uncalled moving screens that result in open threes for Keiton Page 2.0

I'm hoping McKay starts for Hogue and edozie gets a bigger role.. Hogue hasn't been very good all year.

What exactly do you mean by this? You want Fred to go away from using the best 4 players on the team, and run sets for Nader and Thomas?

Why would you read that into what I said? They're not mutually exclusive.

The more we get out of players 5, 6, even 7, the better we are. Anybody on the floor is in a position to contribute, whether they're run "sets" or not. Rebounds; steals; hit the shots that come to them.
Or, not.
